I find all of these methods to be too slow, personally.<BR/><BR/>What I recommend is setting KT as your focus. There isn't much movement in the fight aside from a slight sidestep out of the Shadow Fissure and a little bit with the mana bomb thing. So, once you are positioned comfortably, you can just stare at your focus frame of KT, while you are mostly casting FoLs and SS on the MT.<BR/>Then, whenever KT switches targets(which should be immediately apparent), you click on the target and start a heal on them. Depending on your haste and whether or not you have Light's Grace up, you can cast a Holy Light or FoL, and then follow that with a Holy Shock.Joshenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-77100010092320453712009-01-28T13:08:00.000-08:002009-01-28T13:08:00.000-08:00If you use DBM you can toggle the warnings for eac...If you use DBM you can toggle the warnings for each boss ability.

I'm at work right now so I can't copy/paste directly from WoW, but the macro I use is basically a <BR/><BR/>/stopcasting<BR/>/cast [target=mouseover] Nature's Swiftness<BR/>/cast [modifer=alt, target=mouseover] Healing Wave; Lesser Healing Wave<BR/><BR/>combination. (The modifier is there because if Nature's Swiftness is on cooldown, I have to use Lesser Healing Wave instead of Healing Wave; Healing Wave alone is too slow.)<BR/><BR/>I like using this as a mouseover macro because it's often quicker for me to target the player who's been Frost Blasted than it is to find them on Grid.

The first was to get at the edge of the raid, and visually see who was getting hit. Pretty old school, but it works well enough.<BR/><BR/>The second is that our raid leader had his DBM warnings on and that shows a raid message as to who was hit with it. This worked better because I could stand more in the middle of the raid and reach everyone.<BR/><BR/>My only other advice to is that when the frost blast cooldown is up, you make sure you save your holy shock for the target. Sometimes a 1.5 second cast just isn't fast enough. I heal as a priest, but I have to make sure that PWS is ready to go when it hits, so it's the same idea.Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07466128956274005215noreply@blogger.com
